Chapter 145 Transcending Mortality! The Mouse's Plans Backfire
Chapter 145 Transcending Mortality! The Mouse's Plans Have Failed (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In the home, a one-meter-tall spider web cage is placed in the center of the living room.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
Among them were dozens of fist-sized, black-haired rats with glowing red eyes, constantly ramming against the cage, gnawing at it with their purple fangs, and making sharp cries.
This is a purple-toothed rat, a servant-class animal. They prefer living in dark, damp environments. Originally, they inhabited caves and underground spaces, but with modern urban development, the abundant food and filthy sewers have become their paradise, placing them at the bottom of the food chain.
They prefer to act in groups, and their dark purple teeth gather a large number of germs and toxins. By gnawing, they inject toxins into their enemies, causing them to die suddenly, before they devour their flesh and blood.
If low-level extraordinary bacteria and toxins can be cultivated, they will distort their own flesh and blood, initiate viral evolution, and become the elite-level plague virus rats seen in the sewers before. They can even go further and become Rat Witch Priests of the Commander level or even the Morning Star level.
Because of their dark nature, their fondness for polluting water sources and spreading germs, they are listed as one of the dark beasts by the Alliance. The Alliance regularly conducts anti-dark operations, which are as famous as the Twilight Order's anti-prostitution campaigns.
Combating harmful animals is everyone's responsibility.
However, although these things are numerous and weak, they cannot use slave beasts like the Blinking Spiders because they are within the Dayuan City area, otherwise they would easily be marked by the Starry Sky Beast Tower.
Therefore, Lu Yu dispatched his top assassin, Rat Rat, to capture it from the sewers.
Since hamsters and mice aren't the same species, it's not accurate to call it "rat-like misconduct." The only downside was that after we brought it home, the hamster felt smelly all over, and we had to give it three baths to get rid of the odor. The only pity was…
The fur, stained by the Yellow Springs, still retains a yellowish tint that cannot be washed off.
It turned into a yellow-skinned mouse!
It will take some time for it to return to its previous appearance. Fortunately, it is still very good-looking, otherwise the hamster would be depressed. However, it has also affected its appetite. It can only eat three bowls of rice, five bags of potato chips, two puddings, and some snacks a day.
These rats are certainly not meant to be placed in a homeless lifestyle, nor are they even qualified to be slaves.
As for the purpose...
"Eek!"
The little spider stretched out its hand and grasped at the air. Suddenly, the spider silk cage erupted with terrifying pressure, as if a prehistoric beast had descended, scaring the group of purple-toothed rats into kneeling on the ground, trembling in fear.
The weaker the creature, the stronger its fear of higher life forms, and it may even willingly submit to them, becoming their food and servants.
"The spider silk can now maintain its deterrent effect for a longer period of time."
Lu Yu was thoughtful as he watched this scene. After reaching the [Transcendental] level, the spider silk could even retain the imposing effect of the small spider, creating an effect of "as if the emperor were personally present".
This ability is generally possessed by pets of the Overlord rank and above. Their scales, urine, and so on contain a condensed and persistent aura that intimidates other demons and marks out a territory.
The residual power of some powerful beings who are close to being great still possesses the power to change the world, even after countless years.
Essentially, it is the condensation of spiritual power, and in the end, it may even give birth to immortal qualities.
Therefore, armor made from spider silk now comes with a built-in deterrent skill that impacts the opponent's mental will. This alone surpasses most mid-level extraordinary items.
"However, this is just a side effect; the real improvement is..."
As Lu Yu finished speaking, a large amount of spider silk spread out from behind the little spider. It was much finer than the previous [Peak of Perfection] silk, and it shot through the air, directly piercing through these purple-toothed rats.
Click!
All the rats' bodies began to change; their original flesh and blood transformed into black spider silk, intertwining and coalescing into a giant spider silk python, radiating a powerful aura. As if it possessed a spirit, it crouched beside the little spider.
After the Spider Silk skill reaches the [Transcendental] level, its toughness and hardness increase several times over, making it easy to cut through extraordinary artifacts. In front of it, flesh and blood are no different from tofu.
In addition, its corrosive ability has been significantly improved, from previously only able to corrode inorganic matter to now being able to corrode even living organisms.
It can transform flesh and blood into special black spider silk. If it encounters an opponent with the Beast King system, it can turn its enslaved beasts into a spider silk frenzy to strengthen itself.
It's a true killer of the Beastmaster build!
Furthermore, the little spider can also summon minions with a wave of its hand to gang up on the Arch-Tempered Beasts.
Domination System, YYDS!
"Although the Spider Silk skill has reached the highest proficiency level, the little spider also said that the Spider Silk skill still has the potential to improve. If it can go further as its strength increases and erode concepts such as the void and elements, that would be terrifying. It could turn a small world into a spider nest in the blink of an eye, but..."
Lu Yu's expression changed from surprise to strangeness, and he muttered to himself:
"To transform flesh and blood into spider silk, to erode the world, to create spider nests... these abilities are starting to sound more and more like those of an evil god or some kind of major villain..."
"No, my little spider is so well-behaved and cute, it's just that its abilities are a bit strange, how could it be a cub of an evil god!" Lu Yu shook his head, shaking off those strange thoughts.
The mouse beside him stared at the giant python formed by black threads, lost in thought.
The previous spider silk was white, so it can be used to make white silk.
Now that it's tanned, can't I wear black stockings?
Spider Sister, you still say you're not horny?
Having many legs really does mean you can do whatever you want!
However, the hamster didn't dare to say these words, not only because it was afraid of being mocked by Xiu Ren, but also because it thought of the mountain of rat poison in its food warehouse.
Although Spider Sister is usually gentle... she's really ruthless when it comes to delivering rat poison.
They were so afraid that the mouse might have even the slightest chance of survival that they practically pressed the coffin lid shut.
It had been giving me strange looks for a while now. Could it be plotting how to kill it?
The mouse is scared, JPG!
As for the egg... it's still sleeping, but its size has increased significantly, and it has the potential to become a giant egg.
Although Little Spider made significant progress, Lu Yu was not satisfied. What was one extraordinary skill? His goal was to make all his skills extraordinary.
"Ding ding ding!"
Just as Lu Yu was about to continue training, he suddenly noticed a bunch of messages on his phone. He glanced at them and saw that the temple ruins had become a hot topic.
At first glance, most of the comments were joking that he single-handedly drove up the prices of all pets with the Silk Thread skill across the entire alliance, leading many to see him as a rising star in the future of e-commerce.
Whenever he gives the word, a large number of merchants will wave banknotes and come to give him money.
However, Lu Yu was not interested in this. Even if he wanted to gain attention, he would publish the evolutionary path and take the scientific research route, rather than causing trouble for a little bit of profit.
However, after browsing through the comments, he saw that many clever people had already analyzed that the skill the little spider used to manipulate the metal ruins was the special type [Spirit Puppet Threads], not spider threads. Although both are threads, the two are completely unrelated.
One is the line of physical existence, and the other is the line of spiritual existence.
[Lu Yu? He's just trying to attract attention!]
[Analyze Lu Yu's combat strategies; learn them to easily defeat him!]
One hundred solutions to the question of the spirit thread...
Some "experts" also took the opportunity to offer their opinions, saying that as long as the Spirit Vision skill is activated, the Little Spider's ability can be countered. They started to criticize Lu Yu and so on, which attracted a lot of attention and traffic.
Lu Yu laughed it off, even hoping that more people would believe these outdated reports. After all, Little Spider's [Spirit Puppet Thread] had already been upgraded once to become [Spirit Puppet Curse Thread], not to mention that it was now a super-tier [Spirit King Curse Thread].
Its power has increased exponentially.
If these people actually follow so-called templates, formulas, or online guides, all that awaits them is despair.
"I've actually climbed to 98th in the entire league! Looks like I can call myself a big internet celebrity now..."
Lu Yu smiled, glanced through the video, and seeing that no key information was leaked, he didn't pay any attention to it. Just as he was about to log out, he saw his former homeroom teacher's information.
He glanced at it and realized that the other person was reminding him not to forget about the college entrance examination.
Time flies.
Lu Yu was also startled, realizing that in less than two months, around the end of September, would be the time for the Beast Taming University to recruit students.
Anyone under the age of twenty can apply, but the requirements and assessment content vary from school to school.
Although he hasn't decided on his final destination yet, whether to go to the border battlefield or the university in the capital, it wouldn't be bad to spend a few days in the capital to broaden his horizons.
Besides, even if you get accepted, it's okay. University isn't like high school where you can take leave and go out and have fun.
"If you have enough time, you can also go to the Mechanical King's Domain to find a suitable mechanical-type pet, and enjoy the scenery of the Dark Star Domain along the way—a good balance of work and rest."
Lu Yu replied with a thank you. In order to face the geniuses of the capital, he was determined to break through to the Gold Rank as soon as possible and build his own spiritual puzzle.
Now he can't even overpower those at the Spiritual Transformation level. The chance of encountering a Morning Star level expert and being instantly killed is already one in a thousand, which rounds up to one hundred percent. This world is truly dangerous!
Fortunately, he had the mental potions he purchased from the Darkmoon Merchant Guild, plus the pet supplements he got for free from the Breeders Association, which was enough for him to go into seclusion for a period of time.
Therefore, in the following days, apart from getting eight hours of sleep and bullying the Gluttony Cauldron, Lu Yu spent the rest of his time in Nightmare Prison.
It was incredibly fulfilling!
"Eek!"
"Eek!"
"Eek!"
The little spider kept swinging its sword, lightning flashed, and the force of the shockwave swept around, spreading outwards in a small-scale earthquake centered on it.
She devoted herself to training the skills [Lightning Pattern] and [Mind's Eye Soul Sword], while also training her Void skills and continuing to improve her Dream World.
The Nightmare Prison skill has both advantages and disadvantages. While it protects Lu Yu from attacks by dream-type pets, it also prevents him from using their corpses as a shortcut to quickly level up in the dream world.
The little spider was also very distressed about this, since it could no longer increase its owner's income.
Instead, Lu Yu comforted them, saying, "Actually, not all dream-type pets are bad. Some are kind-hearted. So let's try to catch some big fish and capture some powerful nightmares to build walls for the Nightmare Prison."
"Eek?"
The little spider was stunned for a moment, unable to tell whether its master was kind or cruel.
Well, Master is right!
()
After instructing the little spider, Lu Yu looked at the mouse...
Well, this guy hasn't been slacking off, but he's been sticking to making empty promises. As his strength has increased, the number of rat clones he can create has also increased.
But it has begun to be dissatisfied with subcontracting tasks, and the capitalist soul has been further awakened.
"Why should I be paid to enslave myself?"
Why not recycle the remaining degenerate rat clones, erase their memories, and have them endlessly repeat the same work, thus saving on potato chips altogether?
The hamster thought about it more and more and felt that this method was feasible, and even put it into practice, but the result was...
Failed.
Unexpectedly, the rat clones of the first generation were not only as lazy as the rat itself, but also inherited its ability to survive and sense danger.
Just as the mouse was sneakily making its move against one of the first-generation mouse clones, it was immediately surrounded by them.
"I can make excuses..." The mouse had barely opened its mouth when it saw the smug smiles on the lips of the other mouse clones and immediately realized what was going on.
"You tricked me!"
The mice were shocked; they had deliberately fished for them, just to catch them doing something wrong.
One of the rat clones sneered, "Don't we know what kind of person you are?"
"..."
The first-generation rat clone surrounded the rat, threatening it with "You don't want Xiuren to know either..." and a strike, a march, and hanging streetlights. The rat had no choice but to pay twenty bags of potato chips to end the farce.
"This guy... is definitely on the verge of exploding."
Even Lu Yu, who was speechless and put his hand to his forehead, couldn't believe that this little rat could outwit itself and even lose.
Lose the mouse!
However, he didn't expose him, leaving the mouse with a last bit of face.
The main concern was that this guy would come and cry, and then his tears would soak the new clothes that the little spider had woven for him.
However, after working hard for a few days, the beast tamer did not continue to exploit them. Instead, he took a day to have team building activities and went out for a meal of scorpion-tailed beef barbecue.
When I saw the bill for over 500,000, I was completely stunned. I was so glad that Dandan hadn't woken up, otherwise he might have bankrupted me.
He was honored as the Holy Son of the Poor God.
The rest of the time, Lu Yu swam in the Mother River, but he didn't know if he had encountered the Crab Boss or not, as he had already used up all his good luck.
The mother river was deathly silent.
Even though he was driving around in his flying coffin, he didn't encounter a single person or mutant.
It seems that unless one jumps into the Primordial Spirit Sea and commits suicide, encountering a living creature will be extremely difficult.
Six days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Yu had reaped considerable rewards.
First, he successfully transformed the silver spirituality of the Beast Taming Space into mithril spirituality, digested the remaining essence of the Soul Fruit, and advanced to the peak of silver.
It's just one step away from achieving golden spirituality.
The little spider also practiced its remaining skills, and [Lightning Pattern] and [Mind's Eye Soul Sword] were approaching the level of transcendence.
The mouse finally stood up, and through the tireless work of creating numerous clones, it finally mastered the [Shadow Mastery] skill, resulting in a special effect:
[One-tenth of the damage received can be transferred into the shadows.]
In other words, it's like adding a damage reduction buff, and the damage reduction effect will become stronger as the mouse's strength increases.
As expected of a mouse, even its skill effects are related to survival; it's incredibly cunning.
In addition to its improved strength, Lu Yu's economy also achieved a historic breakthrough.
Because the matter of the Church of the Underworld had been settled some time ago, five million was deposited into the account. In addition, Luo Qingyue's eight million was also deposited, bringing the total savings close to twenty million.
Even if it's Dawn Star level material, Lu Yu now has the courage to look at it.
The woman also left a message saying that her grandfather's secret stash was indeed impressive; even a small amount of money had been deposited to cover her expenses. She added that once it was fully deposited, she would use it to support Lu Yu, her assistant, and make him grovel before her.
Lu Yu naturally agreed with this excellent dream and replied:
"Rich lady, you have a good eye. I'm best at using words to manipulate people and giving advice on current affairs. *slurp*"
Luo Qingyue was taken aback at first, then reacted and replied angrily:
"roll!"
After sending the message, Luo Qingyue was indignant. Looking at her fingers on the keyboard, she couldn't help but think of Lu Yu's slender, long, and well-defined hands, and a blush rose on her face.
"She actually got angry! She's too thin-skinned. She still has a long way to go before she can truly become a wealthy woman!"
Lu Yu sighed, then noticed that the principal had also sent a message. He thought the principal was coming to reprimand him, but Luo Zisong was not only not angry, but also sent more than a dozen smiling emojis to show his encouragement.
His only wish was for Lu Yu to focus on his studies and not to come see him. He also told Lu Yu not to come looking for the Five-Bone Fulfilled Bird recently, as it was too dangerous.
The principal's sincere words deeply moved Lu Yu. Even when he encountered trouble, the principal did not forget to help him silently through Luo Qingyue.
Lu Yu made a decision, thinking that when he had time in the future, he could use the Eye of Truth to study how to turn the Five-Bone Abundant Bird back into the Five-Grain Abundant Bird.
May the principal's bird become better and better.
Let's boost our favorability.
As Lu Yu was pondering, he suddenly received a message from Zhou Cheng. He thought it was something important, but it turned out that Zhou Cheng hadn't seen him for a long time and was just asking to check on him.
Moreover, I felt that if things continued like this, he would develop mental problems, especially since Lu Yu had a history of going insane.
Zhou Chengcai didn't believe that the crazier you are, the stronger you become. He believed that a balance between work and rest was the key. So, as an elder, he had a responsibility to take him out to relax. It wasn't because he was broke and felt a little envious of Lu Yu's wealth, wanting to get some benefits from it.
Lu Yu wasn't interested in this. After all, going out with elders usually meant strolling in the park, having a meal, or listening to opera, which was incredibly boring and involved awkward conversations... It was much better to train at home.
[Moya: Uncle Zhou, how about we call it a day? I'm busy with something lately.]
[Xiao Zhou, so handsome he has no friends: Really? The place I'm going to this time is a place where gambling and drugs are absolutely forbidden. Since you don't want to go, then forget it. Looks like I'll have to go alone.]
【Twilight Raven: !!!】
I'm stuck on a 5,000-word chapter. I need to sort it out.
